Back to work

The day I have been dreading for a while now finally came. I had to go back to work. I am still just supplemental in Endoscopy and Nicu but just the idea of leaving my baby for the day still makes me sad and nervous even with #4. I was scheduled to work an 8 hour shift in Endo so it wasn't a big deal but still hard. We will be having Makenzie, the neighbor girl, nanny for us 2-3 days this summer but we had to fill the 4 week gap of my maternity leave being over and school ending for daycare. Thankfully, Susie has agreed to come hang out with the girls for a  couple of the days and Robb has taken a couple of vacation days so that I can work a little bit.

My first day back Robb was the one that was watching the girls. He was excited to spend the day with them but I was nervous how Emerson would do. She is having more "happy awake" time but she still is kinda a mommy's girl and likes to snack eat during the day when I nurse her. When I left in the morning I didn't cry but was a little teary on my drive. I was a little worried I forgot how to do my job since I was going back to a position that I had only worked in for a couple of months before my maternity leave. When I got there I had 3 patients waiting to be admitted so I hit the ground running. It was good that I stayed busy because then I didn't have a chance to be sad. It was nice to see the girls that I work with and the day went fine. I got this picture from Robb when I text him to see how the day went. I guess only a dad would think to put the Bumbo in the stroller, since she wanted to sit up. I had to laugh!

I met up with them on my way home. They were just headed home from the park. I think the day went pretty well all in all. Abby thought it was pretty fun to spend the day with dad and of course he was more fun than me. My disclaimer is that he didn't do any of the laundry or housework therefore could be more fun. They look pretty cute on their walk.
